Seeing that many other instances call this "quoted", we may want to
be consistent.  I can see "munge" in the pre-context, but that one
can stay as is. Under -z, no modification/munging happens.  With -z,
a specific kind of modification (called "quote" described in the
documentation for core.quotepath variable) happens.  The same
comment applies to the change to Documentation/git-apply.txt

Otherwise the patch looks good.

Thanks.
